Great read

I have enjoyed the Kate Alexander series from the first book through Murder Shot. Each book has been better than the last. The characters are believable and the procedural process brings the story to life. I am looking forward to Mike's next story in the life of Kate and her Tampa police family.

Darn the last book published in this series and the best one so far. The characters are well developed and add to the plotline, their interactions keep things interesting and flowing. The plot takes a few twists and turns and I didn't see the ending coming.

Mike Roche is a writer on a par with Michael Connelly. I never thought I’d ever be able to write that. Don’t stop, Mike!

I’ve read all five in the Kate Alexander series and have enjoyed immensely.
Sure hope there’s another one.
